Port Hope Christmas Events!

Christmas in Port Hope is a Magical Time of Year!!

Most of our delightful Olde Tyme Christmas events begin on the Friday before the parade with the enchanting Candlelight Walk down heritage main street into Memorial Park where thousands of lights go on to illuminate the Victorian Village, trees and band shell. Bring along your own lanterns and your singing voice as caroling is part of this traditional family event. Refreshments are served and then warm up again in the Candlelight Christmas General Store selling homemade crafts and gifts in the Knights of Columbus Hall all weekend, or drop by the Capitol Theatre to view the magnificently decorated trees before heading to the downtown for our annual Moonlight Sale. But don’t be out too late, Saturday November 26th, is our Santa Claus Parade
